The Fear of the Snake (2025)
This acrylic painting explores the psychology of fear through a deceptively simple yet unsettling composition: a lone chair in an empty space, occupied by a serpent. More than a physical threat, the snake embodies a deep, instinctual fear—one that fascinates as much as it unsettles. It is not just an object of terror but a symbol of the human impulse to confront, tame, or even dominate what we fear.
The empty room leaves no distractions, no escape—just a silent confrontation. The chair, a symbol of presence and authority, is taken by fear itself. Does one dare to sit? To observe? To challenge?
In The Fear of the Snake, this confrontation takes on deeper meaning. Traditionally tied to wisdom and transformation, the snake represents the dual forces of danger and enlightenment. As we enter the Year of the Snake, the piece invites us to face our most primal anxieties—not to destroy them, but to understand them.
